Did anyone catch The Octopus Project when it was here opening for Aesop Rock last month? Word from The Pabst Theater is that the band was "triumphant," which is good to hear considering the band's coming back to Milwaukee again -- this time to play at Turner Hall Ballroom on Sunday, Oct. 28.

Two great Milwaukee bands, Brief Candles and Fable & The World Flat, open the 8 p.m. show.

The Octopus Project -- Toto Miranda, Yvonne Lambert and Josh Lambert, with recent addition Ryan Figg -- is often described as "experimental," which is apparently the adjective applied when a band employs a vast array of instruments, including a theremin.

The band's done the SXSW and Coachella route, but really seems to find its niche in smaller, more intimate spaces. The Octopus Project's third album, "Hello, Avalanche," is out on Peek-A-Boo Records on Oct. 16.

Tickets are $8 and are available in advance at The Pabst Theater box office and The Riverside box office, on the Web at www.turnerhallballroom.org, www.pabsttheater.org, www.riversidetheater.org and www.tickets.com, or by calling (414) 286-3663 or (800) 511-1552, or day of show at Turner Hall Ballroom.
